The following quote is from Mere Morality: What God Expects of Ordinary People, by the late Dr. Louis Smede (1921-2002):
"Maybe the prophets wanted the rich to invite the poor into their homes, maybe they wanted the poor to be befriended and supported by gentle arms of friends. Maybe friendliness. But at least justice, at least the rights of the poor respected."
The Bible says:
"Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl, for the miseries that shall come upon you." - James 5:1
